food is medicine

"Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food." — Hippocrates

Your plate has enormous power over your hormonal balance. What you put on it can impact your energy, digestion, sleep, and even your mood!

A well-balanced plate:

🥦 **Vegetables** to support your liver and microbiome

🥩 **Proteins** to stabilize your blood sugar

🥑 **Healthy fats** to nourish your hormones

🍠 **Complex carbohydrates** to sustain your energy

But what about when time is short? When we're overloaded with information? When we're a mother to young children? Or when we simply don't give ourselves permission to feel good in our own bodies—how do we make peace with food and cook for our well-being?

Building a healthy eating routine:

🍽 **Establish habits that stick** by creating a nourishing routine.

🧘 **Reduce stress** by organizing meals in advance—why not take a Sunday afternoon to prep for the week? Get yourself some pretty glass containers, chop your veggies, and fill your fridge with vibrant colors.

📚 **Choose cookbooks that inspire rather than overwhelm**—ones that make you feel good.

Start by cooking for yourself, preparing meals that nourish you and bring you joy. Find pleasure in taking care of yourself. And why not involve your children? Your partner? Your bestie?

Cooking can be a beautiful, shared family moment. 💛
